Material handling equipment and safety products manufacturer Wildeck Inc. has launched a new family of structural steel end-of-aisle rack protectors to guard against fork truck impact at rack aisle corners in busy storage facilities, warehouses and distribution centers.

• Wilgard XT Rack Protectors are extra tough and have been designed for heavy-duty rack protection in high traffic areas.
• Wilgard MT Rack Protectors are designed for medium-duty rack protection and can provide an adequate barrier to forklift impact in everyday use.
• Wilgard LT Rack Protectors are intended for lighter-duty rack protection and provide a low-cost alternative to no rack protection at all.

Wildeck will introduce its new family of Wilgard end-of-aisle rack protectors in Booth S1012 at ProMat 2017, April 3-6, McCormick Place, Chicago, IL.

Wildeck Inc. has launched a new family of structural steel end-of-aisle rack protectors.

“Wildeck’s new family of rack protectors will allow our customers to select the specific level of impact protection that meets their facility safety and budget requirements,” stated Hubert Schlegel, director of Marketing for Wildeck.

“When compared to plastic molded guards applied directly to rack uprights, Wildeck’s structural steel barriers provide a far superior solution,” stated Schlegel. “Wilgard rack protectors are anchored directly to the concrete floor, not to the upright, and can help avoid serious damage by deflecting fork trucks or heavy carts that may cut corners when turning down aisles in a busy warehouse, 3PL, or DC.”

Benefits of Wildeck’s new Wilgard End-of-Aisle Rack Protectors:

• Made-in-USA quality increases safety in warehouses and distribution centers
• Helps avoid rack repairs, injury from falling materials, and costly downtime
• Withstands fork truck impacts to rack uprights and avoids damage to expensive inventory
• XT, MT, and LT designs permit user to choose the level of protection their budget allows
• Available as individual “Right-” or “Left-Side” rack protectors, or as a unitized “Double-Headed” protector that guards the entire rack width
• Quick and easy to install with the included anchor bolts

According to Wildeck, customers no longer need to waste time shopping for the best safety product “deals.” Instead of simply offering one product, Wildeck has responded to feedback from customers whose needs and budgets are not all the same. At MODEX 2016, Wildeck introduced their 3-Levels of protective Wilgard Guard Rail, and now follows with the launch of 3-Levels of End-of-Aisle Wilgard Rack Protectors that will debut at ProMat 2017.

The new end-of-aisle rack protectors guard against fork truck impact at rack aisle corners in busy storage facilities, warehouses and distribution centers.

“It’s no longer one choice,” stated Schlegel. “The choice belongs with the customer, and now they have three. What a concept!”
